    Political asylum for being in an undemocratic nation, does that happen? I want to learn.

      Its one of the requirements for political asylum.

      For example:

      • Protesters in Tianamen Square in 1989 (some fled to the US)

      • Falun Gong practicitioners

      • Hong Kong Protesters

      You have to have a lot of documentations, you can’t just show up at the border and claim it.

      If you country is recognized as a democratic country, your chances drop to almost zero. I literally have never heard of anyone from a western democratic country getting political asylum to another western democracic country.
